Hiii there!! I’ve just finished trying to use your simple way to root this device running 5.1.1 but, supersu app didn’t show up on the screen. I did try to download it from Play Store to flash it with TWRP, used a lot of them but always saying: “There is no SU bynaries and Supersu cant install it…….” Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
